2) Hold down Ctrl and Alt and click near a corner of the "To" object. This will add the "To" object to the selection. (If you want to change more than one object, hold down Ctrl, and click and drag a selection rectangle around the "To" objects.
3) Now, reselect the color or line style already shown.
As an example of copying properties from object to object, say you have two objects, a pentagon and an ellipse. You want to copy the square pattern and colors from the pentagon to the ellipse.
1) Using the selection tool , click and drag a rectangle surrounding the pentagon. The color and line style toolbars will change to reflect the pentagon's properties.
2) Add the circle to the selection by holding down Ctrl and Alt, and clicking near the edge of the ellipse.
3) Reselect the colors that are already set. Click on the fill color button (red) and click on the highlighted red color from the color palette. Do the same for the main color (blue) and pattern.
The colors and fill pattern have been copied to the new object; the line style remains the same.
